In recent years, growing demands for basic research in the exploitation and development of microorganisms have come from many academic research laboratories and professionals working in this field. The objective of the “Master in Microbial Biotechnology” specialty is to train scientists and operational managers who master the basic techniques of Microbiology and its biotechnological applications.
The lessons programmed, according to the progression of the semesters (M1 and M2), in particular the fundamental units (UEF), will allow the progressive acquisition of the various tools and basic knowledge of the microbial world in its aspects of biodiversity, evolution and
adaptation in different ecosystems. The Metabolic Biochemistry and Enzymology Unit will deal with the proteomic and enzymological aspects necessary for understanding the functioning of microbial metabolism, its interaction with the environment and its regulation. Microbial genomics is a tool for investigating microbial functions and intervenes
directly in the production and valorization of biomass and microbial activities.
The study of microbial applications will allow the perception of the stakes and the impact of innovative biotechnological approaches, in terms of valorization and exploitation of microbial functionalities, in particular those relating to natural actions and activities.
human (Biotechnologies: Environment, Agriculture, Health, Industry, etc.…..). The scientific subjects of the second year (M2), will relate to knowledge in microbiological engineering and valorization of biomolecules of biotechnological interest. The UEM (Methodology) are focused on the techniques of chemical analysis and bioanalysis and the methods of characterization and
identification of microorganisms, in addition to in silico tests and biostatistics analyses. Other subjects (UED and UET) deal with marketing, strategic management and communication as well as business creation, to give a better
knowledge of the functioning of the company and to facilitate the professional integration of graduates and to be able to learn and undertake research activities.
